GUWAHATI
Manipur Chief Minister Nongthombam Biren Singh on December 12 advised his Mizoram counterpart Lalduhoma to stay away from the internal affairs of Manipur.
Addressing a programme in the State’s capital Imphal to mark Manipuri women’s uprising against the British, he said he expects Chief Ministers of other northeastern States not to interfere in the affairs of Manipur just as he does not in theirs.
“Whatever happens in Manipur is the State’s internal matters. The Chief Ministers of other States call me and ask about the situation in my State. They expressed their willingness to help bring peace and solution. But unfortunately, I came across a comment of the newly-elected Mizoram CM that the Manipur police should not harass people in Moreh [town bordering Myanmar],” Mr. Singh told journalists on the sidelines of the programme.
“It is somewhat beyond the Constitution because it is an internal matter of Manipur. He [Mr. Lalduhoma] does not know what exactly is happening in Moreh,” he said.
He added that he had never interfered when Mizoram was grappling with the Bru issue apart from “praying only for the restoration of peace” in his neighbouring State.
Some 40,000 people Bru people of Mizoram fled to Tripura after ethnic violence in 1997. Many of them have been settled permanently in Tripura.
